I hope you’re finding a cosy spot to paint. Watercolour is an ever-challenging art. Here’s a winter tale: I submitted a painting for an exhibition recently and was “unselected”. Bother! That was one of my best efforts to date! Then I thought back to school days when I hoped to win the 50 yards hurdles and was pipped, when I came 24th in geography after colouring my maps of Spain so perfectly, when having Joanna Paul, Rozelle Pharazyn and Rosalind Kirkcaldie in our art class meant no one else rated – ever! (All became professionals in the art world in later life.) And then I laughed! Fortunately, time has given me a bigger picture. Most of us who have plucked up the courage to submit paintings for exhibitions have felt that dagger-in-the-heart when the ‘unselected’ notice arrives. It’s a moment to take a deep breath, stay brave, mix and chat with fellow artists, listen to feedback, learn about what makes for success, work on improving, then focus on the next opportunity. The moral, to quote Alfred: 'Don't get hung up if you're not hung up!' Our outdoor painting mornings continue to grow in popularity. 100% for loyalty and endurance goes to Phil Dickson, tutor at our recent MPG, for standing his ground in the southerly blast on Mt. Victoria (south side!). And 110% to new member, Glenda Leete, who anchored Phil’s easel for an hour until she was shivering! I have to admit the rest of us painted in our cars. The rain front moving in over Lyall Bay did make an atmospheric subject! We deserve sunshine for our forthcoming Painting Mornings. Our determination to ignore a wee chill in the air was evident at our latest Safari in Ohakune, when members ventured in many directions including the mountain slopes. We were well warmed with good food and singing, as Kirsty and Karen’s article will tell. We’re working on the next Safari for mid November and intending to go south. We’ll let you know when we have plans in place. Our watercolour education courses go from strength to strength. Martin has been busy and brought in some exciting new tutors for our coming events: a vibrant lady, Robyn Eastgate-Manning and lively lad, Daniel Reeve, and a highly creative portrait artist, Eric Dyne. Also our smiling Chris Andersen is widening his subject from portrait to the ‘fuller figure’. Adrienne Pavelka is returning to take another two workshops for us. Details of all of these are below. So, whether it be outdoors in scarf and gloves or cosy indoors, happy winter painting. Happy painting, Sue Wild WATERCOLOUR NEW ZEALAND CLASSES - Course Schedule – Second half 2010 Period Date Course Level Tutor 1 8 wk – Tues pm 29 June- All levels Robyn 24 Aug Eastgate-Manning 2 2 day – Sat, Sun 17/18 July Advanced beginner/ Eric Dyne Intermediate 3 1 day – Sat 28 Aug Intermediate Dan Reeve 4 8 wk – Tues pm 31 Aug Intermediate/ Advanced Chris Andersen 5 1 day - Sat 23 Oct All levels Adrienne Pavelka 6 1 day - Sun 24 Oct All levels Adrienne Pavelka 2 Course 1 8 WEEK – WATERCOLOUR LANDSCAPES with Robyn Eastgale-Manning Tuesday 29 June – Tuesday 24 August (excluding Tues 3 Aug) (Term 3) This course will cover a wide range of exciting techniques to help you free up and discover new approaches to the tricky medium of watercolour. Robyn will introduce a new method each week so come with an adventurous attitude and all your paints, especially transparent staining and non-staining colours in at least a warm and a cool of each primary colour. Subjects will be varied, including landscape, mountains, flowers and fruit and abstract. Bring any inspirational photos you have. Be aware you will not copy them but use them as reference. Tutor' note: Robyn has painted and worked in the creative field all her life. She attended the School of Design in Wellington, Art school in Auckland and has taught watercolour, acrylic, oils, drawing, and pastel classes for the past 9 years at the Hutt Art Society, Karori Arts and Crafts Centre, and conducted private tuition from her Foxton studio.

Cost: $150 Please bring your own materials. Tea, coffee and biscuits will be provided. Course 2 2 DAY – WATERCOLOUR WORKSHOP – PORTRAITS with Eric Dyne This course will look at portraits with accent of understanding anatomy and drafting your portrait, followed by the application of watercolour techniques and producing your finished art. This will enable the participant to understand and accomplish accurate drawings for the painting of their subject. Tutor's note: Eric Dyne has been a professional artist all his working life. Trained in the 1950’s and 1960’s by Fred Ellis, Carl Laugeson, James Coe, Bill Main and others in Fine Arts. In his early career he worked in calligraphy, packaging and commercial illustration.

Cost: $160 (includes model cost one day). Please bring your own materials. Tea, coffee and biscuits will be provided. Course 3 1 DAY – ‘LIMITED PALETTE’ WATERCOLOUR WORKSHOP with Daniel Reeve Colour isn't everything! Less is more! In this single-day workshop Daniel will show us why tone is vital, while colour is an added bonus. How a painting can be beautifully harmonious within itself, rather than a garish confrontation between too many colours. We'll examine the relationship between warm and cool. We'll see what can be done with only three colours. Then with only TWO colours! 3 Tutor's note Daniel is a freelance artist from Titahi Bay. He has been a member of Watercolour NZ for many years, and exhibits with us from time to time. His paintings are represented in private collections around the world and in the permanent collections of our own Parliament House and the offices of the Waitangi Tribunal. He is most well known for the calligraphy and cartography in various films, including The Lord of the Rings trilogy, the Narnia movies, King Kong, Van Helsing and others; but he also does illustration and lettering work for advertising and for film merchandising, creates logos and fonts, and makes artworks on commission. Recently he has been the “resident artist” on some tours of New Zealand, combining Lord of the Rings tourism with teaching painting and drawing – a purely art-focused tour of the Far North is planned for this coming October. You can see some examples of his artwork on his website: www.danielreeve.co.nz Date & time: Saturday 28 August, 9am – 4pm (with breaks) Tutor: Dan Reeve. Location: Wellington Art Club premises, 27 Chelsea Street, Miramar. Cost: $100. Materials to be advised. Tea, coffee biscuits will be provided. Course 4 8 WEEK – LIFE DRAWING & PAINTING with Chris Andersen Tuesday 31 August – Tuesday 19 October 2010.

Dean owns DA 1429 which he purchased form Tony Batchelor when the loco was returned to Tony after a period on hire with TranzRail and the subsequent completion of a network-running certificate at Hutt Workshops. Although the certification has now expired, it does mean that restoring it should hopefully be a formality. Dean already holds a Rail Service License. Ninety percent of the work that Dean’s company carries out is for OnTrack. He delivers new loose and assembled track materials to rail sites all over the upper North Island and also loads and removes for custody, surplus track materials recovered from upgrades. He has a fleet of big trucks for this work and was recently involved relocating L 507 to and from Ohakune for the 2008 Parliamentary Special trains. Dean has not yet firmly established what role DA 1429 will play in the future but believes that FRONZ could be helpful in negotiating a place for his company as a Heritage Vehicle Provider.
